    The item came in excellent packaging, so much so that I am entirely impressed with this seller and their exceptional attention to detail. They did such a good job that I have absolutely no complaints - not even ones so tiny that mentioning them would be nitpicking. The item came in excellent condition, was described perfectly, and the photos in the listing were accurate and showed relevant details. I would love to purchase from them again with such high quality, excellent value products.

    The title of the book is appropriate for the subjects of the book!

    Well researched modern history of American involvement in the Far East few Americans understood.

    This title was misleading. It's not about the desert.

    If you like reading 'Flags of Our Fathers' you'll like this.
